For the 25th anniversary of his annual holiday reading, John Cain returns with Jim West to his first and most beloved story, Truman Capote’s A Christmas Memory.

Originally published in Mademoiselle magazine in December 1956, this largely autobiographical story set in the 1930s, describes a period in the lives of the seven-year-old narrator and an elderly woman who is his distant cousin and best friend and their joy of giving during the Christmas season.

A holiday classic, A Christmas Memory has been broadcast, recorded, filmed, and staged multiple times, in award-winning productions.
